Pop the distributor cap off, inspect it, and spray some wd 40 or wire drier
in there. I'd also disconnect the connector on the side of the distributor,
and make sure the terminals are clean.

Is it the original transfer pump?

Hi,
My daily driver, a 92 Jetta Carat, 8V 1.8 L crapped out today. I had driven
about 35 highway miles in snow sleet and hail. I had gone about 1 mile off
the highway. At a stop light the car stalled. I could start it but it would
just barely chug along. I was able to start it after about 1/2 hr. The car
then went 1/2 mile and died again. I filled the gas tank. The car did start
but would just fade right down. After a while I got it to keep running at
3000 RPM. It would then idle. I drove another 30 highway miles got off at
home and the same again. 
My first 2 thoughts were that it was wet, or the transfer pump is going. Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
John
